Yep, we have to wait until Thursday. But maybe we can keep the previews and reviews discussion in this thread anyway as it's only two days. Keep up the good work!

Today we can tell you all about Titan – its specs, its construction, and its features – but not about its measured performance. For that you will have to come back on Thursday, when we can give you our benchmarks and performance analysis.

Edit 2: Oh boy, it will cost $999. Where do you guys reckon performance should be ? Slightly below GTX 690 ? On par ? Slightly above ? Sometimes wins, sometimes loses ? Even if it's a mixed bag, perhaps they can justify the price because it does away with SLI problems / compatibility.

And come to think of it, it has potential to do much better at higher resolutions / multi monitors setups because of all that VRAM. Let's not also forget that VRAM in SLI doesn't add, so the Titan has a definitive advantage here.Edited by tpi2007 - 2/19/13 at 6:13am

At the time of the GK110 launch at GTC, we didn’t know if and when GK110 would ever make it down to consumer hands. From a practical perspective GTX 680 was still clearly in the lead over AMD’s Radeon HD 7970. Meanwhile the Titan supercomputer was a major contract for NVIDIA, and something they needed to prioritize. 18,688 551mm2 GPUs for a single customer is a very large order, and at the same time orders for Tesla K20 cards were continuing to pour in each and every day after GTC. In the end, yes, GK110 would come to the consumer market. But not until months later, after NVIDIA had the chance to start filling Tesla orders. And today is that day.

Much like the launch of the GTX 690 before it, NVIDIA intends to stretch this launch out a bit to maximize the amount of press they get. Today we can tell you all about Titan – its specs, its construction, and its features – but not about its measured performance. For that you will have to come back on Thursday, when we can give you our benchmarks and performance analysis.

I mention this specifically as the Geforce GTX Titan has been designed to overclock. The AIB partners will be allowed to offer voltage unlocked SKUs. And combined with GPU Boost 2.0 you will see this product boosting towards the 1100~1150 MHz range once you tweak it. The reference clock however is 836 MHz with a boost clock of 876 MHz.
